I'm a long a long time Sega fan and whilst their output is a bit different these days, they've still put out some of my favourite games of recent years. Whether that be Sonic Frontiers, the Like A Dragon games and Infinite Wealth still being my favourite game so far this year.

Fingers crossed their revivals turn out well and I'd love to see the return of the Virtua Fighter series and their arcade racing games

Well it should really, Rift Apart came out 3 years ago and pretty early in the console lifespan. I'd be worried if it didn't sell better at launch given the much higher numbers of PS5 owners today

Astro Bot is great but I don't even thing Rebirth is the best JRPG this year, I much preferred Infinite Wealth and Metaphor looks like it could be better than both

Awesome news, some pacing issues aside, Alien Isolation is a fantastic survival horror game and one of the best movie licensed games rolled into one

I'm absolutely baffled whey they didn't port this to the latest version of Decima instead. There's some weird obsession with Unreal engine despite its very obvious and consistent performance issues.

That aside, I really don't see the value in this remake at that price. When are they going to start remaking games which aren't already playable just fine on the very same console?

@Pranwell goodbye then

@zebric21 definitely, I had a decent 4K TV before upgrading but the difference has been been huge and it also has 4K 144hz support for my PC. As for the Pro, it's something I am considering but will probably wait until after Christmas as the only new game I'm getting for the rest of the year is Silent Hill 2 and for PC anyway

Funnily enough I was playing this very game last night on my new 55 inch Samsung OLED and all I ever thought is that it looked fantastic

Sony needs to put these shut the **** up options in all of their games 😆

Oh and of course they don't have them for the original PS5. Sony are a joke for how they treat their customers at times

A great game that is both a homage to those PS1 survival horror games and one that very much stands up on its own

Outlaws just isn't appealing to me, if you're going to make a game around the original Star Wars trilogy, then I'd say there's way more obvious things to be doing then what this looks like

They could always just make more of them, which would be great for 2 reasons.

1. More fans can get one
2. Scalpers and those who bought them for £5K can argue over whether they should get refunds

@naruball this is simply one of the reasons, Sony just raised the price of Horizon because they felt like it and a world where the PlayStation store is the only way to buy their games will not be beneficial for the consumer

@Intr1n5ic there have been times where digital licences have been affected leaving people unable to play and there was a bug earlier this year where some users were unable to access their digital library for 3 weeks

Things like this are why I will never own a digital only console

For being an analyst, it's surprising that Mat Piscatella doesn't know that the PS5 Pro isn't a limited edition console.

That said, it's a good thing that it hasn't sold out as that means Sony have made enough to meet demand

@PsBoxSwitchOwner yeah, it showed me Lego Horizon on mine and that's not even out

It's a shame eBay don't care about their own terms and conditions as they freely allow these listings until they're reported

I've got a couple on mine now, GT7 informs me of an upcoming 3 month old update and Horizon Zero Dawn shows its new inflated price and Lego Horizon that I couldn't care less about.

The PS4 was so much better than the PS5 in so many ways, we used to have themes which were fantastic and now I've got to put up with this garbage every time I turn the console on

I don't have that update yet but they look awful

Frankly the PS5 UI has been rubbish since day 1 anyway, so why not make it a bit worse.

Why can't we just have themes? PS4 was so much nicer to use

PS5 Pro enhancements? 😉😂

@JediSnoogans yeah they were targeting 60fps but never get there, so they feel rubbish to play

@JediSnoogans that's thing, they shouldn't even need patching. The improved RT performance should automatically smooth it out to 60fps

I was also thinking about games which should automatically run better too, such as the RT modes in the Resident Evil remakes. I am contemplating getting one, well I have it preordered, it's just a case of whether I cancel it or not

@themightyant it's probably more they're just allocating more stock over time for their own store before shipping what's left to retailers

I'm looking forward to getting back into one of these and this is looking very promising so far

They've remastered Part 2 again?

Joking aside, this looks incredibly faithful to the game, it's just a shame that I can't watch it as it's on Sky Atlantic in the UK, I can't get that on Virgin Media and NOW TV's streaming quality is diabolical

@get2sammyb PS5 Pro is back in stock

Yet so many are more than happy for Sony to go full digital and have complete control over game prices

@SlipperyFish I got into the store about 10:50 and the Dualsense wasn't on the main page, so I just ordered the portal. I went back on at around 11:25 and found the Dualsense then and bought it

@REALAIS oh yeah the 30th bundle was gone instantly. They really should have been making far more of those available

To be fair it took a few hours to sell out, though we have no idea how many consoles they had. I was contemplating getting one but I can't think of what I'll be playing anytime soon that'll take advantage of it. I might think again next year when Ghost of Yotei comes out

As for the 30th stuff I got the Dualsense, which is what I wanted

Trust Sony to completely mess this up, why on Earth would you put the PS5 Pro preorders and the 30th anniversary stuff at the same time and on just one site?

I felt like Jin had a great but self contained story, not everyone needs to have a franchise and I'm glad we're getting a brand new story instead.

On a side note, I booted up Ghost of Tsushima last night on my new Samsung S90C OLED and my god does it look stunning on it, easily one of the best HDR implementations I've seen and probably the best any game has looked on that TV so far

@jrt87 it's certainly very game dependant, I do like it in Alan Wake 2 as it makes a huge difference visually and I'm around 60fps in quite a few areas with it on (not the woods). I agree about RE4, it looks rubbish their anyway and in general I'd say I use RT more in mods for older games, oh and Cyberpunk

@TripleEyeGaming you say the but Alex doesn't seem overly impressed by it, with it's still low end CPU and what will still be limited RT

“If you value fidelity and you like ray tracing and the higher frame rates of performance modes"

I do, this is why I have a PC with a 5800X3D and 4070ti. That said even if I didn't, it would cost me around £530 to upgrade if I sold my existing PS5 to CEX and I've seen nothing even remotely worth that upgrade. If I can get it cheaper in the future then perhaps I'll get one but as is it looks a much smaller upgrade than PS4 Pro and definitely One X were but for way more money

So instead of devs making their games properly, we should just buy more expensive hardware to brute force their nonsense?

Probably for the best and they're including the first expansion with all future preorders, as they're moving away from the season pass model. Perhaps they're finally learning from their mistakes

I've literally just bought a brand new 4K OLED TV, so there is no chance I bother with an 8K TV for a long time, not least because what would i even watch on it? Though it's still pretty cool they'll have it as an option for the very few who do and for sometime way off in the future when 8K TV's make any sense.

I'm all for games been delayed to be finished properly before launch but how to you announce a game in early 2023, to be released that same year, only to announce a (second) delay some 17 months later for potentially another 2 years

Good job I was already planning on going to bed instead of watching it

@NEStalgia 🤔🤔🤔, no it isn't 😆

Why are they not doing side panels for existing owners? Why bother designing the console where they can be swapped out but only sell these as a limited edition console?

I might get a controller but given the whole point of the PS5 design was removable covers, why aren't we getting those to buy for existing owners?

@LifeGirl well the studio itself is 6 years old, but even if we assume all 150 staff have been there for 8 years working on this and an average wage of 50K a year, that comes to 60 million. Still leaving us 340 million to account for

@get2sammyb perhaps, in any case it's been a monumental catastrophe for Playstation

I mean, the studio employs 150 people, so unless they pay them all 500K a year then I'm not sure what they spent the money on 😂

Also Sony didn't even buy them until last year so where did this independent studio get all the money from in the first place?

The acquisition was undisclosed, so if it cost $300 million and then the game cost $100 million to develop, then you could say it cost Sony $400 million but I highly doubt the game itself cost that

"One other tidbit worth noting is that an enormous 75% of the games sold in the UK this August were purchased digitally"

It's also a very quiet time for new releases, it's no secret that people pick up cheap games in sales digitally. The data that is relevant is what are the sales splits of games in and around release

When the day comes where the Playstation store is the only option to buy your games, that won't be a good time for gamers
